What Owners Say
"torsion bar joint wear helps causing the wheel vibration"
Anonymous, CA (2018 Ford F-250 Lariat 6.7-L V8 diesel)"Apparently this was part of the problem with the front end shake. The service dept. seemed to be very familiar with the issue as it seems to be a common occurrence with the F250 models"
Danny P., TX (2018 Ford F-250 XLT 6.7-L V8 diesel)"I am not sure what the problem is, but I don't know that Ford does either."
Anonymous, OK (2018 Ford F-250 XLT 6.7-L V8 diesel)"When hit tough spot on road while going g through a curve, the steering wobble and vibrate very badly and make it difficult to steer. Slow down and it would stop."
Anonymous, KY (2018 Ford F-250 XLT 6.7-L V8 diesel)"its called the death wobble. Its a known steering problem with F250s. There is a ford service bulletin out. The problem is serious at high speeds"
Anonymous, (2018 Ford F-250 King Ranch 6.7-L V8 diesel)"Very scary wobble of death at 15K miles. Had to stop on the freeway to stop the wobble. Steering wheel vibrated nearly out of my hands! Happened many times once it happened the first time. Ford put me off for 2 months before they had the part to repair. Don't know at this point how long the repair will last. I wish CR would write about this 3/4 ton pickup problem, particularly with the F250s."
Anonymous, CO (2018 Ford F-250 Lariat 6.7-L V8 diesel)"Steering stabilizer was bad. Replaced under warranty. Tried to get dealer in Alaska to look at it but they said they didn't know what it could be and it would be a month before they could get to it. Took it to the dealer in Colorado I bought it from and they knew what it was before they even looked at it."
Anonymous, (2018 Ford F-250 Lariat 6.7-L V8 diesel)"I found later the problem was termed "Death Wobble", which could cause you to lose control with no warning. Ford Motor Company issued a Service Bulletin, but declined to Recall. Mine was first repaired at 9,000 miles, and again at 12,000 miles. at 12,000 miles, I had to wait 2 months for the repair parts. It was operable, but not safely. I now have 13,200 miles and just don't trust it. Ford Customer Care tried to be helpful. I feel they just have a design flaw."

Anonymous, CA (2018 Ford F-250 Lariat 6.7-L V8 diesel)"Vehicle developed the death wobble at 75 mph on the highway. The front end of the truck began to shake violently and I had to pull over and stop completely to make it stop. Restarted, and 5 miles down the road it happened again."

"The hose broke twice and I had to towed both times. First time it happened I was off-roaring and hit a dip. The second time I was stuck in the snow, I stepped on the gas and it broke again."
